A dark, melancholic revenge thriller that juxtaposes intimate human connection with brutal violence, exploring grief and moral corruption through a father's descent into vigilante rage.

A tender drama unfolds between a grieving father and a troubled teenage girl as they drive northbound along the quiet outback roads of Australia. What she doesn't know is that between stops, he is leaving behind a bloody trail of bodies in a revenge motivated killing spree.
